"I owed it to myself to meet this crisis in my life when I chose, and I chose now"(102).
This quote is significant because it is at this point when we see Gene taking control of his own life and not having someone else live it in his shadow. Leading up to this event we find that Gene has always been easily persuaded into things, for example; Finny convinces Gene to jump off of the tree with him numerous times, also convinced him to sleep on the beach with him, etc. In correspondence to this quote we see that Gene is starting to take control of his life and make decisions on his own, based on himself.
How could Gene's making decisions for himself destroy their friendship?
